What the Portrayal of Elon Musk on the Joe Rogan Experience Reveals About the Mainstream Media
How the mainstream machination blunts conversation and dictates perception
A few weeks ago inventor and founder of Tech giant Tesla Elon Musk appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast with the third largest audience in the US and well over 30 million listeners.
Expectations for the episode were high.
Musk had been the most requested guest by listeners of the podcast and all around the globe people listened in their cars, gathered in front of the television, and prepared to tune in.
The conversation did not disappoint.
The episode was a mind-bending exploration of the ideas driving nascent technologies, the processes behind the symbiotic evolution of humanity and artificial intelligence, and the reality that we as a species perceive and inhabit.
The podcast also brought into question the way that humanity chooses to conduct itself and the ramifications associated with our collective actions.
However… pay attention to the mainstream media and you would have been relayed an unjust depiction of events and led to believe an entirely different story.
